At Asan Medical Centre, patients can access Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) Therapy, supported by advanced cardiac surgery and heart failure facilities. Established in 1989, the ISO accredited hospital is located in Seoul, South Korea, and has 2700 beds.
An LVAD is a mechanical pump implanted to assist a weakened heart in maintaining adequate circulation. It may be used as a bridge to transplantation, bridge to recovery in selected cases, or long-term destination therapy. A multidisciplinary heart-failure team evaluates heart function, other medical conditions, and transplant eligibility before implantation.
International St. Mary's Hospital provides LVAD Implantation using contemporary mechanical circulatory support technology and evidence-based cardiac care. Founded in 2014, the JCI accredited hospital is based in Seoul, South Korea, with 808 beds and services for domestic and international patients.
During LVAD implantation, the pump is connected to the left ventricle and the aorta, helping move blood through the body when the heart cannot pump effectively. The device is connected to an external controller and power source. Before surgery, specialists assess cardiac function, organ health, infection risk, and overall suitability for mechanical support.
